(Lake Forest, CA) Oct. 3, 2011 – Del Taco restaurants across the country are putting a spin on one of Germany’s most famous events – Oktoberfest. Beginning on National Taco Day – October 4th and lasting until October 31st, Del Taco will offer taco specials all day, every day for a month-long “celebration worthy of tacos” called Tacoberfest.

At
the center of Del Taco’s Tacoberfest is the Taco Deluxe with five
layers of fresh flavor including seasoned beef, freshly grated cheddar
cheese, crisp lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo. Combining great
taste and big value, Taco Deluxe delivers the best tasting taco for
under a dollar.

For
Tacoberfest, Del Taco restaurants will feature the Taco Deluxe for
89-cents, along with other great values like two Crispy Fish Tacos for
$3, two Big Fat Crispy Chicken Tacos for $4, and two Big Fat Grilled
Chicken or Steak Tacos for $4.

“Why
should German foods have all the fun this month? Our tacos are worthy
of a celebration, too. Our full line of tacos are made with fresh
ingredients, deliver great taste and bold value,” said John Cappasola,
Chief Brand Officer at Del Taco. “We’re proud to feature the Taco Deluxe as part of Tacoberfest. It’s loaded with five fresh flavors for under a buck which is a price that is sure to delight our customers.”
